74hc165 Parallel to serial shift register

The 74HC165 is a high-speed CMOS parallel-to-serial shift register designed for applications requiring the conversion of parallel data inputs to a serial output. This versatile IC is widely used in digital electronics for data processing, communication systems, and interface expansion. It features an 8-bit parallel data input, which can be serially shifted out, making it ideal for expanding the number of input pins on microcontrollers and other digital systems.

Key Features:

• 8-bit Parallel-to-Serial Conversion: Allows parallel data to be read and shifted out serially
• High-Speed Operation: Typical maximum clock frequency of 40 MHz
• Low Power Consumption: CMOS technology ensures low power usage
• Wide Operating Voltage Range: Compatible with both 3.3V and 5V systems
• Tri-State Outputs: Allows for bus-oriented applications
• Asynchronous Master Reset (MR): Clears all data when activated
• Synchronous Data Loading: Parallel data can be loaded on the rising edge of the clock signal

Technical Specifications:

• Logic Family: CMOS
• Number of Bits: 8
• Operating Voltage: 2V to 6V
• Maximum Clock Frequency: 40 MHz (at Vcc = 5V)
• Input Current: ±1 µA
• Output Current: 6 mA (per pin)
• Propagation Delay: Typical 25 ns (from clock to Q output)
• Package Types: Available in PDIP, SOIC, and TSSOP packages
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C

Applications:

• Data communication and signal processing
• Input expansion for microcontrollers and microprocessors
• Digital data storage and retrieval systems
• Multiplexing and demultiplexing data lines
• Interface and control systems

Usage:

1. Connect the parallel data inputs (D0-D7) to the desired digital signals.
2. Use the clock input (CP) to control the shifting of data.
3. Apply a high signal to the Load (PL) pin to load the parallel data into the register.
4. Use the Serial Output (Q7) to read the shifted data serially.
5. Utilize the Master Reset (MR) pin to clear the register if needed.

Caution:

• Ensure that the power supply voltage is within the specified range to prevent damage.
• Avoid exceeding the maximum input and output current ratings to protect the device.
• Handle the IC carefully to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
